Kennels and Catteries. Some take in strays so if you are looking for a rescue animal give them a call.

I highly recommend Jane Parker’s Boarding Kennels, I have given them 5 stars for the following reasons:
Amber is a rescue dog and can be somewhat difficult with other dogs, her behaviour after her stay is always happy, her appetite great and she seems pretty chilled.
We relocated 3 years ago, and tried a kennel closer to home but ended up taking her back to Parker’s because it seems like home away from home for Amber. I can honestly say I have never felt stressed while being away as we know she is in good hands
Amber has been going to the Parker’s for 5 years, her longest stay was 18 days over a Christmas period and I have nothing but praise for the staff who absolutely smothered her with love and affection.
Her recent stay was last weekend, and again Amber is back home as happy and healthy as ever.
Thank you to the very dedicated staff, your service is impeccable and you give an owner peace of mind while they are away.

We’ve been bringing our rescue jack Russell cross to Jane Parker’s for the past 5 years and couldn’t be happier with them. We viewed many kennels as Dodge can be a little nervous and these guys were head & shoulders above all others. They genuinely care about the dogs and are always so friendly and helpful when we’ve needed a quick place Dodge to stay. They were also amazing in the recent bad weather and so understanding when we weren’t sure we would be able to get to them. Dodge literally pulls on the lead to get in.

John and the team at Hemel are fantastic, they treat your animals as if they are the own.
We Lost our 12 year old Rottweiller a few months ago and she got the best possible care from Dan.
Our French bulldog dog underwent major surgery last week and is still receiving treatment,
Miguel did an outstanding job and saved his life, we can't thank him enough.
They never make the money an issue but keep you informed every step of the way.
The whole team are so helpful and caring...

My pet recently had a surgical procedure from Companion Care, I've been going there for a few years now but after this experience, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. The vets, nurses and reception are always so reassuring, friendly and professional. The pricing was also of a good value which was a bonus.

Government site explaining what you have to do to bring your pet dog, cat or ferret into (or back into) the UK through the Pet Travel Scheme (or PETS for short) without putting it into quarantine. It also explains the requirements for bringing many other types of pet animals into the UK. This site also tells you about quarantine in the UK for animals that don't qualify for PETS.

This has got much more humane. The Pet Travel Scheme allows pet animals from certain countries to enter the UK without quarantine, as long as they meet certain conditions. The Scheme also means that people in the UK can, having taken their pets to these countries, bring them back without the need for quarantine
